Books by Sarah Arthur

Why do we pray? What is God's role in prayer? What is the human role? "Prayer: Living in God's Power and Presence explores definitions of prayer, Scriptures that show Jesus' teachings and practices related to prayer, methods of and aids to prayer, the varieties of individual words, needs and emotions that form the content of prayers, ways people interpret answered or unanswered prayer, and the unity between prayer and human action.

When Sarah and Tom Arthur were appointed to a suburban church after three years in an urban Christian community, they faced a unique challenge: how to translate the practices of "radical" faith into their new context. Together with their friends and fellow church members Erin and Dave Wasinger, the Arthurs embarked on a yearlong experiment to implement twelve small practices of radical faith--not waiting until they were out of debt or the kids were out of diapers or God sent them elsewhere, but right now.This book is Sarah and Erin's story, told with humor, theological reflection, and practical insight, exploring such practices as simplicity, hospitality, accountability, sustainability, and social justice--but, most of all, discernment. Along the way readers will consider how God might be calling them to embark on their own year of small but radical changes, right where God has planted them. Each chapter includes discussion questions and suggested readings. Foreword by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove.For more information, visit [www.YearofSmallThings.com](http://www.YearofSmallThings.com).
